    FIN300 Spring 2013 Midterm #1 Study Guide General instructions: 1. This is NOT a comprehensive list of topics that may be covered on your exam. All the lecture material and everything from chapters 1-9 in your textbook (with noted exceptions) is fair game. However, it is probably a good idea to emphasize these topics when you study for the test. 2. Understanding the concepts is a prerequisite for succeeding in this course. 3. You should practice solving problems until you feel comfortable you can solve all of them correctly in a reasonable amount of time without referring to your lecture notes or textbook. The pool of practice problems includes practice problem sets posted on Compass, old exams, in-class problems, lecture examples and end of chapter problems from your textbook. 4. I will give you a formula sheet on the exam (see old midterms), but you still need to know where things come from and how to use them 5. The list of topics below is intended to give you a summary of the material we have covered. Ideally it will help you organize your time when preparing for the exam. 6. Do not assume that the exams will be identical in each section – it may turn out to be a costly mistake. 7. You may not take the midterm with a different instructor. 8. Please, don’t forget to bring approved calculators, pencils/pens, and erasers to the exam. You may want to bring a small ruler as well. 10. Exams will start and end on time (no extra 5 minutes for latecomers).…

Each group will need to choose two companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) from an Excel spreadsheet (provided on Blackboard). Using data that the group collects, which must include data from March 2013, you will be required to examine the risk and return profiles of various portfolio combinations of these two stocks. Failure to use recent data that includes March 2013 will result in a mark of zero. The group will then be required to make a decision about which portfolio to invest in, and justify that decision with reference to appropriate academic literature.…

    Welcome to UCSD Extension’s Financial Decision Making course. My basic approach to the subject matter is that theory which cannot be practiced is not good theory, BUT practice that is not based on theory [i.e., a logical, independently verifiable analytic framework] is not good practice. Thus we will strive for a balance of both theory and practice to provide a rigorous, comprehensive course. Please review the following syllabus and let me know if you have any questions or comments. I will do everything I can to make sure that this course will be a profitable and enjoyable learning experience for each and every member of the class. Please also remember that I am here to support you in the pursuit of your educational goals.…
